HoustonChronicle.com - FCC investigating Jackson's Super Bowl halftime exposure

"Timberlake blamed a 'wardrobe malfunction,' but Federal Communications Commission chief Michael Powell called it 'a classless, crass and deplorable stunt.' "

There are so many levels to this one line that it is difficult to know where to start.

First off, who cares? If you can rip off Britney Spear's black pants to expose bikini briefs at the Washington Mall in a stunt intro'd by the commander-in-chief himself, then what's wrong with a little bosom? Is that gonna kill you? Is it "obscene" to see Janet Jackson's breast? Get a life, America, and come off it!

Secondly, when it comes to "classless, crass and deplorable" then Michael knows something about it. His cheap schill to the media giants, Murdoch and Clear Channel, is the most sickening retch-fodder outside of Richard Perle's seminars or Ashcroft's Patriot Act. Sure, the Senate laid into him, a little, so he had to scale back a bit, but Powell is nothing more than the architect of Goebbel's style 2004 presidential campaign coverage.

So at least Janet gave us a reminder of something beautiful and timeless, which Powell only reminds us of the hate-mongering that the Bubba administration fosters.
